Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels convert sunlight into electricity that can be used to power your property. Any unused electricity can often be exported to the grid or stored in a battery for later use.

Savings vary depending on the size of your solar PV system, your electricity consumption, and energy prices. Many property owners see significant reductions in their electricity bills while also benefiting from generating their own renewable energy.

Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight rather than direct sunlight, meaning they continue to produce power even during cloudy weather. However, generation levels will be higher on bright, sunny days.

Yes. Solar battery storage systems allow excess electricity generated during the day to be stored and used later, such as during the evening or periods of low sunlight.

Most solar PV installations can be completed within one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the system. Additional time may be required for larger projects or electrical upgrades.

When installed correctly by qualified professionals, solar panels should not damage your roof. A survey will be carried out beforehand to ensure the roof is suitable and structurally sound.

In many cases, solar panel installations fall under permitted development rights and do not require planning permission. However, restrictions may apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, or certain property types.

For safety reasons, most grid-connected solar PV systems automatically shut down during a power cut. However, if your system includes battery storage and backup capabilities, you may still be able to power selected circuits.

Yes. Solar panels continue to generate electricity throughout the year, including during winter months. Although generation is typically lower due to shorter daylight hours, solar PV systems can still contribute to your energy needs.
